Passing Prop 50 in California is absolutely essential to fighting back against Trump and the GOP’s gerrymandering agenda.

As Governor, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will protect New Jerseyans’ fundamental freedoms, including voting rights, workers’ rights and reproductive rights. Her opponent will do none of these things. The choice is clear in this consequential election. Mikie stands with the people. Vote for Mikie!

Gov. Abbott is whining because Democrats won’t back down in the redistricting fight he and Trump started.

(Mind you, Gov. Newsom is giving voters the power to vote on their maps while Gov. Abbott is rigging them.)

Trump made the GOP playbook to win the midterms very clear: suppressing voters and dismantling democracy at all costs.

From rigging maps to gutting voting access, everything is on the table.

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts

Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.

NEW: We’re excited to announce our endorsement of Justice Christine Donohue, Justice Kevin Dougherty, & Justice David Wecht for retention to the PA Supreme Court.

Each of them has consistently upheld the law with integrity—and they will continue protecting the freedoms of all Pennsylvanians.

BREAKING: Texas Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Gerrymander — packing and cracking Black and Latino communities and reducing their representation.

This map is discriminatory. Republicans want to rig the system so Trump and his allies never face accountability.

Republicans took health care from millions while handing tax breaks to billionaires.

Now, they’re turning to partisan gerrymandering in red states to avoid accountability.

BREAKING: CA Governor Newsom just rolled out the process for a new congressional map and a November special election ballot initiative.

If voters approve, the map will take effect only if Texas’s new gerrymander goes into effect.

This is how you take on an autocratic power grab.

Eric Holder Statement on California’s Redraw Process - National Democratic Redistricting Committee NDRC is building a targeted, state-by-state strategy to ensure Democrats can fight back against gerrymandering and achieve fair maps during the redistricting process.

Nobody wants a redistricting arms race.

But we wouldn’t be in this position if Texas Republicans weren’t trying to steal an election in plain sight.

Trump’s redistricting power-grab reveals his weakness.

He’s unpopular and his agenda is failing, so his answer is to roll back the rights of countless Americans.

California is doing what Texas won’t: letting voters decide their future.

We join Gov. Gavin Newsom in urging Californians to approve a redistricting plan that counters Trump’s Texas power-grab.

Jenkins: Trump strips medical care from millions of Americans, realizes he can’t actually hold onto power because the American people are furious. So instead of trying to convince the public to let his party keep control of the House—they come up with this scheme

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

While they should be focused on disaster flood relief, Republicans in Texas - following the orders of the White House - are trying to manipulate maps and rig the 2026 midterm elections. This is yet another national scandal.

We’ve always stood for fairness in redistricting.

But fairness doesn’t mean staying silent while authoritarian actors try to rig the system.

Texas' latest gerrymander is a five-alarm fire for democracy, and we have to respond with the urgency that it warrants.
